1500 watts... Average electric bill is $0.98/ killowatt hour (1000 watts an hour) So it wil cost around $1.50- $2.00/ Hour to operate
To calculate the cost of running a 2 kilowatt convector heater per hour, you need to know the electricity rate charged by your utility company. Let's assume the rate is $0.12 per kilowatt-hour. In this case, running a 2 kilowatt convector heater for an hour would cost $0.24 ($0.12 x 2).
Usually much smaller. A normal freeze plug block heater is about fifty bucks.
A heater with a power rating of 80W will consume 0.08 kWh (80W = 0.08kW) of electricity in one hour. Multiplying this by the cost of electricity, which is 0.17.24p per kW, the heater would cost around 1.4p to run for an hour (0.08kW x 0.17.24p/kW).
To calculate the cost per hour for a 400W heater, you need to know the electricity rate per kilowatt-hour (kWh) charged by your utility company. For example, if the rate is $0.12 per kWh, a 400W heater would use 0.4 kWh per hour (since 400W = 0.4 kW). Multiplying 0.4 kWh by $0.12 gives you a cost of $0.048 per hour to run the 400W heater.
how much an hour to run a oil filled heater
The cost to run a halogen heater depends on its wattage and the electricity rate in your area. For example, a typical halogen heater uses around 1,000 to 1,500 watts. If you run a 1,500-watt heater for 5 hours at an electricity rate of $0.13 per kilowatt-hour, it would cost approximately $0.97 per day. Always check your local electricity rates for a more accurate estimate.
700/(60/5)= 58.333 Wh 58.333/1000= 0.0583 kWh
It is used in extremely cold climates to aid in starting. The block heater keeps the fluids warm for a much faster start.
Your term "hydro" is another term for kilowatt hours. So to answer your question a 4800 watt heater on for an hour would consume 4.8 kilowatt/hours. To take it further if you knew what you pay for a kilowatt hour in your area, multiply it by 4.8 and you could see how much it costs you to operate the heater. An example if you pay .11 cents a kilowatt hour, the price would be .528 or 53 cents an hour.
A 1000-watt block heater, when used continuously, consumes 1000 watts or 1 kilowatt per hour. If it operates for an average of 8 hours per day, it would use 240 kilowatt-hours (kWh) in a month (8 hours x 30 days = 240 hours). Therefore, the total monthly consumption would be approximately 240 kWh. The actual usage may vary based on the heater's operating time and temperature conditions.
